This paper presents generic approach for tactical blueprint scheduling in multidisciplinary rehabilitation care. A blueprint prescribes both the timing of group therapy sessions and the allocation of therapist and treatment room capacity to these sessions and thus defines which appointment types can be booked on which time slots. The blueprint schedule was integrated in a decision support tool, and applied in the rehabilitation center of Sint Maartenskliniek in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
